After lockdown, when people return to school, suddenly digital literacy has become really important for both students and their teachers. As education is catapulted into the 21 century digital skills are at a premium and are developing rapidly. This resource provides a series of audits for schools derived from the UK government’s Essential digital skills framework which defines the digital skills adults need to safely benefit from, participate in and contribute to the digital world. There are 12 FREE documents in the series: • Digital Foundation skills audit for teachers • Digital Foundation skills audit for students (this one) • Digital Communication skills audit for teachers • Digital Communication skills audit for students • Digital Handling Information and content skills audit for teachers • Digital Handling Information and content skills audit for students • Digital Transaction skills audit for teachers • Digital Transaction skills audit for students • Digital Problem-Solving skills audit for teachers • Digital Problem-Solving skills audit for students • Digital Being Safe and Legal Online skills audit for teachers • Digital Being Safe and Legal Online skills audit for students The wording for teachers, as the adults, is taken directly from the framework and turned into a checklist for schools to use. In the students’ checklists the wording has been slightly modified and the changes, made by the author, shown in red. The documents are in Word format to allow teachers to easily simplify and modify for their settings. Also available is detailed teacher guidance about how these documents can be used in schools, including strategies to develop skills gaps found through the audits and ideas about comparing and addresses mismatches between teachers and students’ digital skills.

This is ONE of a family of 14 resources aimed to encourage independent research skills for more able students. There is a blank template and example topics including: batteries (hyperlink) , electromagnetism, graphene, industrial processes, magnetism, making electricity, manufacture of polymers, metals, nanotechnology, newest elements ( atomic numbers over 100), rocks, solar energy, wind generation, This a one of many differentiation tools available to teachers. Research topics can be done in class, with books, in libraries, in rooms with computers or tablets. These topics would make an ideal cover lesson. Research could be published in a school newsletter, the school website or blog or in student publication magazines and blogs. Duration: This depends on the age and ability of the students. For youngest students it could be for a week’s homework. As students get older the tasks could be set for half a term, even a whole term, could be linked with a science fair, STEM activity, open evening, assembly or business or commerce event.

These are magnetism and electromagnetism wordsearches adapted to lower ability students and visually impaired students. Letters are larger and there are only 15 words in the lower ability sheet with the simplest words. Wordsearches are an excellent tool to develop and improve scientific vocabulary. Students should be encouraged to work together and say the words aloud to ensure they are internalised, The sheet suitable for students with visual impairment (SEND) has good contrast colours (black and yellow), recommended font ARIAL size of 14. They are suitable for students aged from 7 -15 for all curriculum

This is one of three documents to advise teachers about Citizen science. NOW WITH ADDED STUDENT SHEET. This resource focuses on physics with two others featuring chemistry and biology.
